Radissche is a shy gal. The quickest way to her heart is with a squeaky toy! She just loves to play fetch. Her ideal home will be a more mature one until she can settle in and feel a bit more comfortable. She is quite energetic!
I am on the Priority Paws list. This means that I am struggling with severe kennel stress that is impacting my quality of life. I need to move into a foster home or adoptive home as soon as possible.
Volunteers say ""Radissche was a great walker today. It was hot out, and she took every opportunity to laze happily and roll around in puddles and other interesting substances. She can sit, lay down, was interested in treats, and took them gently."
"This was my first DDO with Radissche though I've walked her 2 or 3 times previously. She has been really stressed out in the shelter, so we started with a peaceful walk/sniff then went and hung out at home. She loved playing fetch and tug with a squeaky toy and is playful and energetic for her age. She motioned toward the door and waited for me to take her out when she needed to pee. She was a little bit timid of my partner but warmed up to all members in the home with time (teenagers and adults). Radissche encountered small children, teens, bicyclists, roller skaters etc while out and she had no issues, though there was a cat that she wanted to chase. Radissche is such a sweet, fun, adventurous, and cozy girl. Please give her a chance, her whole personality blossoms when she's comfortable."
